Japan has women-only cars in their trains to prevent sexual harassment!

Women only passenger cars have been introduced by the governments of many countries in Asia so that women can travel to work or other destinations without fearing or experiencing groping activities from men.

The down side of these cars is that they tend to be more crowded and have relatively longer distances between two stops. As you can see, women have to experience great inconveniences not to be harassed in public. In many of these Asian countries, the demand for these cars is growing as more women have to go to work.

India has been created a woman-only taxi service. It’s easy to see this active attempt to protect women from harassment as social progress, but the fact that these services are required and their demands are increasing indicate that something is wrong and isn’t getting better.
